Rossi answers to Márquez – ‘I’m happy to be a motivation for him’

Márquez argued that he had many motivations to win the Sepang race and that one of them would be for Rossi to be in front of him. Given these declarations of Márquez, Rossi replied to his comments.

‘I’m happy to be a motivation for Márquez’, Valentino said.

The fateful crash came four laps to the final in which the #46 was 20 miserable kilometers from the win, having lost the rear wheel on the first corner of the circuit, a right turn.

‘We suffered a little in the last few laps; happened to Maverick in Australia, but then he was alone’, recalled The Doctor.

‘I guess I didn’t do anything weird, but I crashed, so obviously I made a mistake. At that moment I was keeping the rhythm, I think Marc would have reached me in the last two laps; It would have been exciting’, in reference to a possible final fight.
